Yes, change the battery. Apparently the f5 series eats cmos battery life for breakfast. i believe your battery is located under your keyboard.

Asus has one of the most unfriendliest websites and help sections in regards to their computers.

You can try here...

But I looked around on youtube for you... and found a keyboard removal video but I didnt see the cmos battery under it. Most likely its accessed through the bottom of the computer.

Sorry I couldn't be much more help. I'm just not that familiar with Asus products outside of their mother boards.
